What is the ruling regarding the share and portion of the deceased in the contracting company that was a partnership between two brothers, especially since the second brother has taken over the entire business and has not clarified the deceased's share to the heirs, and the deceased has minor children?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Upon the death of a partner, all their assets transfer to their heirs. The partnership is dissolved, and the obligations arising from it become void. Therefore, the heirs have the right to claim their share or to decide on the continuation of the partnership. The person responsible for the company must clarify the deceased partner's share and their portion of the profits, and enable the heirs to access their rights. The fundamental principle in these matters is that they should be brought before the Sharia court to safeguard the rights of the heirs, especially if there are children among them.
